Yoga Immersion in Mexico with Ann Dyer Cervantes

This week-long yoga retreat in Mexico invites students to slow down and look closely at their practice. Led by Ann Dyer Cervantes, the Yoga Immersion is a hatha yoga retreat at Haramara Retreat in Sayulita, Nayarit, for people drawn to depth, vitality, and new possibility. All levels are welcome.

What to Expect

The week is built around a steady daily rhythm. Mornings begin with active asana practice, where Ann unpacks poses layer by layer and treats them as doorways into self-knowledge. The aim is to notice how new ways of moving can reveal old patterns, new strength, and moments of real pleasure.

Afternoons turn toward restorative yoga and meditation. Between the two, there is unstructured time to swim, rest, receive a massage, or walk into the town of Sayulita. Meals and evenings leave room for conversation. Expect liberating movement, generous rest, laughter, and a pace that lets the practice settle in.

Classes are mixed level. Instruction emphasizes safety, understanding, and enjoyment, so each student is supported and also appropriately challenged.
